Health problems/ seizures
Hello, I created a thread here https://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/...01#post1249401 a little over a week ago. I have more questions, but decided a new thread was more appropriate.
The young squirrel was found after falling off of a certain height. His hind legs were paralyzed, suffered from malnutrition and had seizures (which I was certain were caused by MBD). I now have started treatment using Prednisone, but I still have some issues that I need to address.
The squirrel has started having seizures again since I posted the last thread (they had stopped after being fed calcium in large quantities). The problem I am facing is that the squirrel claws at it's head while these seizures take place, ripping off the fur on his head and on his sides. He also seems to twitch on his sides while these seizures are happening. Has anyone encountered these symptoms? I've seen MBD seizures happen often in abandoned squirrels, but this is the first time I encounter one where it seems to be worse.
The frequency it is happening at is about once per day, but sometimes two on occasions.
Thank you.
